Hi – I'm Chris. I joined Mosaic from Battery Ventures, where I invested in European software companies from seed to buyout.

Before moving into technology investing, I worked in investment banking, focusing on sponsor acquisition financing for companies across sectors. I also did an eclectic bunch of internships – spending time in emerging market credit investing, nanoscale optoelectronics research, aerospace engineering and strategy for a large Canadian retail bank.

I’m a Canadian national, originally from Montreal but I’ve since lived in 5 countries across 3 continents.

In my free time you’ll find me travelling, exploring London’s food offerings or working on my pitiful golf game. I may never be a scratch golfer, but as long as I can stay scratch-free when retrieving my ball out of bounds I’ll be a happy camper.
